Gosling closing in on Bournemouth switch

Sky Sports understands that Bournemouth have agreed a deal to sign Dan Gosling, after he was not offered a new deal by Newcastle United.

The 24 year old moved to St James’ Park from Everton in the summer of 2010, though injury restricted him to just twenty-four league appearances for the club in four seasons.

He spent three months on loan with Blackpool during the 2013/14 campaign, scoring twice in twelve Championship outings before returning to the north east in January, going on to play eight times in the top flight – the last of which the 3-0 win over Cardiff City.

Several other clubs were linked with a move for the midfielder’s services; though Cherries boss Eddie Howe has beaten off his rivals, with the deal set go through on July 1st, subject to a medical.

Bournemouth finished in tenth place in their first season back in the second tier, six points off a play-off place.
